Cornell Spends $575,000 On Suicide Response So Far

Of the approximately $575,000 the University has spent so far in response to last spring's student suicides, $350,000 -- or about 60 percent -- has gone towards the construction of "means restriction" barriers for seven bridges on and around campus, according to officials. In addition, $150,000 has helped bolster the University's mental health counseling -- though student demand for services, according to administrators, still exceeds Gannett's capabilities.
